For those who follow my twitter or instagram you know that I dyed my hair, yet again. I am no longer a  brunette, a red head, or even a grape head. I am rocking green locks. It's kind of wild.

Yesterday after some much needed thrifting (pictures below) my friend j.mean went back to my house where we did karaoke (thanks to youtube videos) then I cleaned my room and she watched a movie.

      

Now, while cleaning my room I found a jar of hair dye and thought "Why not?" The color was blue but because of my natural highlights came out green.

 

Of course I was shocked at first (price you pay for dying your hair at home) but after seeing all the great green tones that have been walking the runway at New York fashion week; I am ready for fall. And over some time I am in love with it!

 

(My boyfriend is still trying to get use to it.)

Shirt (Crop Top - Nordstrom Rack) $7.00 x Jeans (thrift store) $10.00

sweatshirt (H&M) $20.00 x Army Jacket (Army Surplus) $5.00

flats (target) $15.00 x necklace (goodwill) $1.00

so you do it anyways

Sometimes I think this blog is a waste. That people are most likely judging me like crazy.

 

But hey, everyone has an opinion, in which they are entitled too.

And then I remember thinking about those people is just as easy as not thinking about them.

I just at least one person is getting ideas and inspiration from this! Because that truly is enough.

The Female Bueller

Something about today's outfit makes me feel like a preppy 80's teen movie character. So I of course went for Ferris Bueller reference over a Claire Standish. Maybe it's because it took me FOREVER to get out of bed this morning. I did not want to go to work today. Why?

Because it's a leap day!!

Yeah. It's that exciting.

I did however go to work. I also got hired to do some work with The Blue Scholars which is exciting and had some Peco's Pit for lunch. So far, so good.

DIY: Elbow Patches

Who knew that elbow patches would become a huge fashion statement. I guess this means my grandfather was ahead of the trend then... Anywho here is a DIY for elbows patches.

1. Get a sweatshirt, cardigan or any long shelve shirt

This one was on sale for $8.00 at Urban Outfitters

2. Get any fabric you wish to use to make your patches. You can use suede, leather, or any cool pattern at that. I found this fake suede at my local fabric store for $2.99 a yard and bought a little less then half a yard

3. Fold the fabric in half and cut a oval (or egg like) shape.

4. Mark your elbow with patch then pin down. Begin sewing the patch to the shirt (using the machine or hand stitch)

5. Then finally... Throw those bows!

I suggest playing around with the shape of the patch, the colors, the type of sweatshirt or even throwing a matching pocket on the front as well. It's all up to you!!

xo Enjoy!
